# PhishDestroy threat dossier — chainvaults.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 11:26:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chainvaults.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.74.5 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["lars.ns.cloudflare.com", "sreeni.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: VORTEX PROTOCOL — Earn & Trade ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7bd2793ad401c4e8401f163b2861f1658b6f0234ddc080135cae5dcb0a6bc2d5 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 11:26:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 08:27:13 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:40:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf24-cfb4-771e-8244-b38e1e7c321b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c16a4b4a-edf9-4578-bd1e-bf0d13910b30 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chainvaults.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chainvaults.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chainvaults.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chainvaults.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chainvaults.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 11:26:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies chainvaults.org as a generic phishing domain actively distributing a cryptocurrency scam. The site impersonates legitimate digital asset vaults to trick users into surrendering private keys or seed phrases, enabling direct theft from crypto wallets. It is not a legitimate financial service and should be treated with extreme caution. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after rigorous analysis confirmed zero detections on VirusTotal out of 95 engines as of April 2026. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 18, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 104.21.74.5. Its recent creation and use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggest an attempt to appear trustworthy during active phishing campaigns. The lack of detection does not indicate safety—it reflects the lag in signature-based scanning tools catching new, rapidly changing phishing pages. If you visited chainvaults.org, immediately disconnect from the site and do not enter any personal information, login credentials, or cryptocurrency wallet details. Scan your device with updated antivirus software. Revoke any wallet connections or permissions granted to suspicious sites. Report the domain to your browser provider and to PhishDestroy. If you entered a password or private key, consider that wallet compromised and transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet immediately. Monitor on-chain activity for unauthorized transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-AAB788 TLS cert SHA-256: 7bd2793ad401c4e8401f163b2861f1658b6f0234ddc080135cae5dcb0a6bc2d5 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chainvaults.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chainvaults.org Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
